This year is the third “Year Of AI” in a row, by our reckoning. So how will people in the industry actually use AI – and in mundane ways? How much can be automated and when do humans need to step into the decision-making process? And if you automate away the mundane tasks, where do entrants in the industry start?

Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Diana Perkins | Trading With Diana Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast Travis Jamison shares his journey from serial entrepreneur to full-time investing in legacy businesses, explaining that while tech is great for building, it's risky for investing. He allocates capital into small, decades-old businesses via search funds, independent sponsors, and roll-ups, aiming for diversification, steady cash flow, and multiple expansion. Travis views AI less as a direct investment opportunity and more as a tool for operating businesses that are resilient to technological change. AI's rapid evolution makes predicting its exact impact nearly impossible, so investors should approach private businesses with careful bet sizing, strong due diligence, and awareness of risks. We discuss... Travis Jamison transitioned from serial entrepreneur to full-time investor after several liquidity events. He avoids investing in tech startups due to disruption risks despite believing they're great for building wealth. His capital allocation focuses on small, boring, decades-old businesses that are hard to kill and generate steady returns. He participates in search funds, independent sponsor deals, and roll-ups, rather than angel or venture investing. He targets companies in the $4–30 million enterprise value range, often in industries like HVAC, pool services, and rehab centers. Roll-ups allow him to buy add-on companies cheaply, combine them, and benefit from multiple expansion. He diversifies across industries to avoid concentration risks and aims to build a portfolio of around 30 small businesses. He sees the lower middle market as more attractive than larger private equity deals due to lower entry multiples. He views business as the most fun game to play and continues investing for identity and enjoyment, not just money. For AI, he invests in companies largely unaffected by it, seeing boring businesses as safer than trying to pick AI winners. AI should be viewed as a powerful leverage tool, allowing individuals and businesses to achieve far greater output with fewer resources. Blue-collar industries like HVAC, plumbing, and construction are less exposed to AI disruption in the near term, making them relatively safer sectors. Many companies deliberately keep their AI use quiet to avoid tipping off competitors or losing their edge. Because the long-term trajectory of AI is unpredictable, investors should avoid over-concentration and treat exposure as part of a balanced portfolio. The most effective strategy is to swing at the “easy pitches”—investments with clear fundamentals—rather than forcing deals in uncertain or hype-driven areas.

The educational technology landscape is shifting dramatically, and two alarming trends are reshaping how teachers can use TPT resources in their classrooms. If you've invested time creating digital materials or incorporating QR codes into your teaching resources, these changes could significantly impact your product's usability and your TPT sales.The first major shift involves statewide cell phone bans, with Texas leading this movement and other states following suit. While many teachers welcome this change for classroom management, it creates a challenge for resource creators who've built convenience features requiring personal devices. When teachers see QR codes in product previews, they might immediately dismiss resources as unusable in their technology-restricted environments, even when these features are merely optional enhancements. As a seller, it's crucial to clearly label these elements as supplementary and provide alternative access methods to maintain your market reach.Perhaps more concerning is the growing divide between "Google schools" and "Microsoft schools." This isn't simply about platform preference – it's increasingly a compliance requirement tied to student data protection and district insurance policies. Teachers at Microsoft schools may be explicitly prohibited from allowing students to access Google-based resources, regardless of educational value. Similarly, Google Chromebook users often encounter compatibility issues with Microsoft files. This technological segregation means that creating resources exclusively for one ecosystem could inadvertently alienate half your potential market.The TPT marketplace has never truly offered "set it and forget it" passive income, but these technological shifts make regular updates more essential than ever. By creating dual versions of digital resources and clearly labeling technological components as optional, you can protect your market position and demonstrate your commitment to serving all teachers. While adapting requires additional effort, it also creates opportunities as older, inflexible resources become obsolete. How are you experiencing these changes in your classroom or TPT business? I'd love to hear your thoughts and strategies for navigating this evolving landscape.Check Out My YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

In this episode of Tech Burst Talks, Charles sits down with Rob DeMillo — ex-JPL, serial entrepreneur, SparkLabs Venture Partner, and now CEO of Sophia Space — to unpack one of the most disruptive tech ideas out there: putting compute in orbit. Rob walks us through his wild career path from space science to cloud animation, to architecting data centers in the sky. And learn how he was about to produce 7 EXITS from 9 STARTUPS! They dive deep into Sophia Space's modular “tile” technology, built from first principles for space — not retrofitted earth tech — and explore the near-term use cases that matter: defence, air traffic control, disaster response, and real-time edge processing in orbit. This isn't a pitch about sci-fi fantasy — it's a raw look at how real, scalable, space-based computing is already taking shape. Rob also shares what it really takes to build seven successful startups, why “dumb luck” matters, and the mindset needed to thrive on the edge of what's possible.

Software is eating the world, right? We've all heard this phrase by now, but inventor and investor Pablos Holman has something important to add: “The world can't eat software.”That's why Pablos focuses on “deep tech”, i.e. how to invent new solutions to real world problems like energy, water, waste, construction, and sanitation. Pablos says we're still mostly using version 1.0 technology for these fundamental systems, but recent advances, including AI and the ability to prototype and test in software, are enabling incredible innovation in hardware.Pablos has worked with Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and more. He's kind of a mad scientist and in this episode we'll discuss things that sound like science fiction, but that Pablos says are coming soon, such as solar panels in outer space that can beam clean energy down to earth, autonomous cargo ships blown by the wind across the ocean, and tiny nuclear reactors buried a mile underground that power the world above. At Deep Future, Pablos is on a mission to solve the world's biggest problems, and he's hoping more people will make the jump that he did from software to hardware and into deep tech, because, as he says, “ all the people who've been building software their entire career, those are the ones who are going to save the world.”—Chapters02:25 Deep tech and why it's so important05:56 How Pablos became an inventor07:44 Getting Blue Origin off the ground11:35 Running an invention lab at Intellectual Ventures13:40 Why solar panels in space will soon power Earth16:46 Why all problems are energy problems21:33 Better nuclear reactors are coming28:25 How rapid iteration in software enables better hardware31:35 An appeal to software people to get into deep tech — and save the world—Links:Deep Future book, podcast, and firm: deepfuture.techPopTech conference: poptech.org (if you're new to PopTech and would like a discount, email me or DM me on LinkedIn)Sign up for the CRAFTED. newsletter: crafted.fmLearn more about how Modern Product Minds can help you build the future: modernproductminds.comEmail me: dan@modernproductminds.com

From energy bottlenecks to proprietary GPU ecosystems, the CEO of TensorWave, Darrick Horton explains why today's AI scale is unsustainable—and how open-source hardware, smarter networking, and nuclear power could be the fix.QUOTESDarrick Horton“The energy crisis is getting worse every day. It's very hard to find data center capacity—especially capacity that can scale. Five years ago, 10 or 20 megawatts was considered state-of-the-art. Now, 20 is nothing. The real hyperscale AI players are looking at 100 megawatts minimum, going into the gigawatt territory. That's more than many cities combined just to power one cluster.”Charna Parkey“We're still training models in a very brute-force way—throwing the biggest datasets possible at the problem and hoping something useful emerges. That's not sustainable. At some point, we have to shift toward smarter, more intentional training methods. We can't afford to be wasteful at this scale.”TIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Introduction[00:01:00] Founding TensorWave[00:04:00] AMD as a Viable Alternative[00:08:00] Open Source as a Startup Enabler[00:09:30] Launching ScalarLM[00:12:00] ScalarLM Impact and Reception[00:14:30] Roadmap for 2025[00:16:00] Technical Advantages of AMD[00:18:00] Emerging Open Source Infrastructure[00:20:00] Broader Societal Issues AI Must Address[00:22:00] AI's Impact on Global Energy[00:26:00] Fundamental Hardware vs. Human Efficiency[00:30:00] Data Center Density Evolution[00:34:00] Advice to Founders and Tech Trends[00:38:00] AI Energy Challenges[00:44:00] AI's Rapid Impact vs. Internet[00:46:00] Monopoly vs. Democratization in AI[00:50:00] Close to Season Wrap Discussion and Predictions

In this episode of the PrimeRx Podcast, David Kirkus breaks down one of the most pressing challenges facing today's pharmacy industry—pharmaceutical tariffs. With increasing trade tensions and new policies taking shape, pharmacies across the country are bracing for the potential ripple effects on drug pricing, supply chain stability, and patient access. David unpacks how tariffs on imported Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and finished medications—especially from countries like China and India—are creating vulnerabilities in a system already strained by global disruptions. Listeners will gain a practical understanding of how these policies could impact everything from acquisition costs and pricing models to patient outcomes and inventory reliability. The conversation also highlights regulatory and legislative responses, and what pharmacies can do now to prepare. From strategic sourcing to investing in automation and domestic partnerships, David offers clear-eyed guidance for navigating today's trade turbulence.
As AI models grow larger and more powerful, they promise incredible capabilities — but at what cost? Karen Hao is an AI journalist and her new book, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI, is a New York Times bestseller. We discuss whether the largest AI models are worth their hefty footprint: They consume massive amounts of electricity and water and Karen argues that smaller models better balance cost vs. benefit. Karen, who has reported for The Atlantic, MIT Technology Review, and the Wall Street Journal, will also provide a view of AI from outside — far outside — Silicon Valley. She's reported on AI from across the Global South and says many there feel that AI is a new form of colonialism.We'll hear about the fight over data centers in Chile, how New Zealand's Maori people are using AI to preserve their indigenous language, and why it's a problem that AI can speak any language, but can only really be policed in a few.(Our interview was first broadcast in October, while Karen was still writing the book, so we do not discuss her deeply sourced reporting from inside OpenAI.)—CRAFTED. is produced by Modern Product Minds, where CRAFTED. host Dan Blumberg and team can help you take a new product from zero to one... and beyond.
